On deciding finiteness for matrix groups over fields of positive characteristic

A. Detinko



Abstract: The author considers the development of algorithms for deciding whether a finitely generated matrix group over a field of positive characteristic is finite. A deterministic algorithm for deciding the finiteness is presented for the case of a field of transcendence degree one over a finite field.
